Hi Knitters,I've been wanting to do this forever and now that I am home for a good stretch, I am. I have enough brand new, untouched yarn sitting in my studio for someone to make another Giraffe from Itty-Bitty Toys. It's the same yarn I used to knit the original Giraffe. The Giraffe calls for two skeins of Cascade 220 Superwash in Daffodil. Got it. Plus you need one skein of Orange in the same. Check. It's all here and ready to go.
I have no plans to knit another Giraffe anytime soon so I want you to take it off my hands!
You all know the drill. Leave me a comment. Say hello or whatever you'd like (within reason, of course:). I will randomly select a winner in a day or two or a few days, I don't know exactly when. I'll see how it goes. Please leave some identifying something like your name, location, anything you feel comfortable with. Only enter once, please. After I select a winner I will post the winning comment. The winner will have a few days to send me their mailing address through my email (on the sidebar). If I don't hear anything I will pick a new winner at that time.
Have fun! Let's make this one fast and furious.

Have fun! Let's make this one fast and furious.I may even play a little Secret Santa and sweeten the pot with some added prizes!!! You never know what you might get. I've got stuff, Knitters, good stuff. And I like to give it away.
fyi: One thing that won't be included in the surprise pot is a copy of Itty-Bitty Toys since I only have one copy in my possession at this point. I have given away every copy I had, which was maybe 15-20 copies, can't remember exactly. I need to get some more books for sure but right now I need to hang onto the only copy I have.
Okay, Knitters, go for it!
best, susie

Angie from NJ
I've been dying to make the giraffe! I'm trying to finish up my Christmas projects, and will be diving into it soon. My husband and I are finally close to adopting a child, our first one, and we can't wait!
Allison
I'd LOVE to knit one of your adorable patterns, and I have just the grandbaby to gift that cute giraffe. You are so talented, and generous!
Love your blog! Love to make the giraffe!
I would absolutely love to knit a giraffe :) I made my library order your book in too!
I'd love to knit this for my grandson!
I just today finished Grumpy Old Bear - my first knitted toy! He DOES indeed look grumpy, in an adorable sort of way. Having five grandbabies, I can always use more yarn for more knitted toys to give to little ones. I'm loving your first two books - would not part with them for the world, not only for the patterns but the instructions are my go-to over and over again.
I hope that Santa thinks that I've been good this year. IBToys is on my list! Merry Christmas!
Several of my friends are having babies and that cute giraffe would be a great thing to make them. I would love to win.
What fun! I'd love to give the giraffe a try! Long legs and polka dots plus a brand new baby in our house...sounds like a recipe for some sweet knitting!
Me please! It would go so nicely with my Elephante and Ribbit!!
Oh my --- Itty Bitty Toys is on my Christmas list!! I would love to win the yarn to make the giraffe . . . he's just too-too cute!!
I hope I win!!!!

I would love to knit a giraffe - it would be a new-to-me animal (I've done a dolphin, dachshund, puppy, turtle...) - I know my two year old would give it lots of love!
What a lovely Giraffe. Sure wpuld love to add him to the toy box for the grandchildren.
Sherrille
Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful craftiness with us. Hopefully Santa stocked up on IBToys this year...it's definitely on my list!
I just had to say that it really made me laugh to see this post about knitting the giraffe!
Yesterday I was sitting with my very tired 2 year old daughter. She had missed her nap, and I was trying to keep her happy and awake for supper. So we sat down to look at my new Itty-Bitty Toys book. (I still haven't knit from it yet!) We were talking about all the toys~ which one was her favorite and which one she wanted me to knit first. The giraffe was the winner. She just kept giggling about his little pom poms, especially the one on his tail.
She went off to play, and I sat down at the computer and saw this post! It really made me laugh!
Of course, I couldn't get back to the computer for long enough to leave a comment until today. Life with lots of little ones... :o)
I do I do! Love the new book! The Giraffe is just adorable!
Wow - you have a lot of entries. I would love the opportunity to knit a version of your giraffe. That little guy is adorable!! Thank you for the opportunity!!
Hi Susan: I would absolutely LOVE to knit the giraffe. I have knitted the hippo and the lamb. They turned out wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity. Annette
I just finished knitting the froggy pacifier clip from Itty Bitty Nursery and I am without a project!! Oh No!!!

My husband is going to pay for a beginners knitting class for me for Christmas. I would love for the giraffe to be my first project on my own. Oddly enough, I already have your book....my skills just need a little direction & maybe some practice : ).
I would love to win this. That giraffe is just the cutest thing and my youngest would be thrilled to get him. You do design the cutest toys. :)
My friend Janet works in the "new books" branch of the Pikes Peak Library District. When this book came in, she emailed me and said "you have to get on the wait list for this book! I want the giraffe!"
Wouldn't it be fun if I won the drawing and could knit it for her?
Hi,
I dont know if it's too late but i'm completely in love with this one! I would knit it for my son for sure. I've already knitted two of your elefante and they were a hit!!! My ravelry name is thalassa!
would love to win this. love your blog. I though I posted a comment yesterday but can't find me name anywhere.
Veronica, Oak View,ca
The giraffe is adorable! I would love to make one for my new baby due this spring!
Linda in Skowhegan
Hi Susan,
I would love to knit the giraffe for my son, who is turning two next Friday. I already have your book, so I’m all set to go once I have the yarn!
I so enjoyed your recent post about the Sow’s Ear. I used to live in Madison and that was the first “real” LYS I went to, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
that is adorable.
I LOVE the giraffe - My three year old has systematically gone through itty-bitty toys and put in an order for almost every toy! I have got to get busy!!!
I'm so excited! I would love to knit a giraffe. I happen to be getting your new book as a Christmas present! Yes, my mean husband is making me wait for it! I would love to be able to jump right on a project as soon as I open the book! Thanks so much for the chance.
I would love to make this giraffe! My two year old looked through my copy of Itty Bitty Toys and when he came to the giraffe he stopped, looked over at me and said "Mommy need to make it". Now, whenever he sees the book out he will go over to my yarn basket, pick up a ball of yarn, bring it to me and say "Mommy need to make giraffe, Mommy forgot!" Oh how a giraffe would be loved around here. Thanks for the fun contest. -Erin
The giraffe is beautiful!!!! So creative. I love your blog and youtube.com videos. Thanks for teaching me how to knit.

Oooohhhhh, I would so love this & it would certainly brighten my snow & wind filled day. Would even make all that shovelling worth while ... ;)
I love all your knitted animals, but your book is not yet in our dutch bookshops available. Maybe in the future? Knitting is getting more and more populair overhere too!
Thank you for all the inspiration,
from the Netherlands,
Mama Lieveheersbeestje.
I have been wanting to start this Giraffe for my Brother and Sister-in-Law that are expecting their first baby in the spring! Totally would love to get the yarn!
It has been so much fun to "follow you around the country" to the different shops. I love the daily "Susan Fix" in my email box. My 4 month old granddaughter would LOVE, LOVE the giraffe! It has to be my favorite Itty Bitty Toy. Thanks for sharing your knitting and your life. It enriches mine.
Nancy in California
Hi Susan, I love reading of the joy you bring to other knitters and I would be really pleased if I won the yarn to make a giraffe! Thanks for doing this!
Itty Bitty Toys is on my Christmas wish list--hopefully someone will take the hint! If not, I'm buying it myself in January. ;-)
I have the book, got the grandson that needs a giraffe and his baby sister is on the way at any min. Its been a touch and go pregnancy for the last 2 months so I could sure use a little pick me up.
Aww, he's so CUTE!! He's one of my favourite projects from your book. I'm working on the Hippo right now for a little cousin, and would love to knit this little guy!
I would love to make a giraffe. He is so adorable.
I love the giraffe. I think it's my favorite toy you've designed. I'd like to say I'd make him for my nephew but I think I should be honest, so I'd totally keep him for myself
I would love to spend winter break from school knitting a giraffe. Maybe santa will put the yarn in my stocking if I don't win!
Today is my daughter's 7-month birthday - and giraffes are her favorite! I put Itty Bitty Toys on my Christmas gift list so I could knit her your giraffe! --Susan in Gainesville, Florida
I have not knit a toy for a long, long time, and I do think that giraffe is the cutest thing! With the perfect yarn provided, I couldn't help but get motivated and love the process. :-)
That is just too cute! I would love to knit it. Perhaps for my niece, who loves loves loves knitted stuffed animals. Or maybe just for myself... :-)
Stay warm!
Jennie
My three day old grandson would love this giraffe. He told me.
I love your books and your blog. I recently bought your newest book and would love to win the yarn to make the giraffe. It is so adorable.
I love your Itty-Bitties. Generally, I don't knit toys, but yours are so interesting I can't resist! Your book is the best knitting money I have spent in a while.
-Janine in MI (on felted bouncy ball # 4)

I just received my copy of your boy and made my 'To Do' list with the giraffe at the head. All I need is the yarn! :) BTW, did you bring the cold down to Oklahoma? (I am not all that close to Tulsa or I would have joined the party at Loops.)
Merry Christmas Susan! I have loved knitting each and every one of the items from your patterns I've made. I asked my BIL for your new book for Christmas, I'm hoping he decided to get it. I would love to knit a new toy for his daughter, my only niece. :) Beth in NH
Would love to make that sweet giraffe! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
what a fun give away!
caryn
I think that giraffe is AMaZinG!! I asked for Itty-Bitty Toys for Christmas!!
i am pretty sure that i have never wanted to win a contest so badly! my son has a lovey giraffe & he would absolutely love, love, love giraffe. (shhh...i'm planning on knitting it anyway but i would love to win the yarn from you!.) thanks!
I love your patterns and would love to have the yarn to make your adorable giraffe!!! It is so very cute. Happy holidays!
I would love to try my hand at toy making and have several grandchildren who would like me to give it a try.
Michele from Georgia
I have all 3 IttyBitty books! Now all I need is some courage, and some yarn. It would be such fun if my first critter could be made with your yarn!! Thanks
Pick me Pick me... I just love the giraffe!
I have a deep and desperate need to knit that Giraffe! Every time I see the toys in your book I have an urge to nip off to the internet and order everything up to get knitting. The only thing holding me back right now is all the christmas knitting. Once that's done, I think I see a giraffe in my future! I would be delighted to get the giraffe wool pack :)Lisa
I think that Santa might be bringing me a copy of your book, so it would be great timing if I won the yarn.
I love reading your blog, and I know I'll love the book. Thanks for the opportunity!
Jennie
This is just tooooo cute. It will go on my knitting projects list even if I don't win. I am having such fun making some of your hats as gifts this year. Thank you for this opportunity.
So, so cute! I'm crossing my fingers!
San Mateo, CA
What a sweet toy. Wish I could have come to your Tulsa visit, grew up in Oklahoma....nice, warm people. Sharon in Va
I'd love to make a giraffe! My two year old has a new obsession with the lovely animal! And I'm getting a copy of Itty Bitty Toys for Christmas.
My sister-in-law is due with her first child in May and I will be a first-time Aunt! Her favorite animals are giraffes and I would love to surprise her with a hand-knit giraffe for her firstborn. Thanks for coming up with such great patterns for the little people in our lives ;).
Sincerely,

Oh Me! Me! ME!
i'd love to knit this one for me and my kids to play with.
Hello,
I love your books. I have the first two and hope to get Itty Bitty Toys for Christmas. I have made many many hats and have one a blue ribbon at our county fair with one. I don't have any little grandchildren yet but my daughters friends have received many little hats. You are a wonderful young woman who should be very proud. I recently found your website and love it. Very happy and pretty. If I win, this would be my big start into Itty Bitty toy making.
Happy Holidays!
I just love your latest book. I have a list of toys to be knitted before the 25th :)
Laquetha
I'd love the chance to make the giraffe. I'm almost done working on a dark/light green striped elephante for my 2.5 yr old son. Would love to make the giraffe for his little brother as soon as I buy the book!
Hi Susan,
It is so much fun following your travels across the country. You go girl! LOL!
I have asked Santa for IBT for Christmas. I am sure Santa will not forget as I have been a good girl! LOL! I use IBH and IBN often so he knows it would not be a frivolous gift.
It would be such fun to win yarn, your yarn, to knit the giraffe. How cool is that! With 4 grandchildren 4 years and under I know I will be knitting lots of toys... and it would be so special for the first to be of yarn from your stash!
I wish you and yours many blessings. You are a delightful and talented woman. I enjoy receiving you posts so very much.
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family,
Laura Field
Would *love* to knit the giraffe (and I know my girls would love him, too)!
Chrissy from Florida :)
Here I am... at the end... Hello..
It is so cute.. :-)
best wishes
Elke from Austria
Love your new book and the giraffe is my fav pattern (although they are all wonderful).
Audrey
I would love to receive this as a 'bonus' Christmas present. I have Itty Bitty Toys out of the library and I LOVE everything in it so have requested my own copy for Christmas. Having the exact right yarn to make one of the toys would be such a treat as here in New Zealand we usually have to substitute for brands we can source locally.
I love the blankets from the wrap-me-up puppies - so special with the fabric lining and the cute bobble button easy for little fingers. I made two blankets (12 inches square) so my daughters can wrap up their dolls - hours of fun!! Sorry to go on but I know you enjoy any and all feedback.
I love him! Thanks for the op to win the yarn. I'd love to give him to my granddaughter... or keep him! :)

Take Care!

Susan Bandel:
It is my all time favorite animal. Did you know, they walk differently than other 4 legged animals.? They walk left fron, back front, then right front, back front. I've decieded to not collect giraffes unless they are really cute. This one is darling and I think I can knit it. I'm only a beginner but I've already made 3 of your hats with many compliments. Soooo much fun. sabandel@msn.com. susan bandel

I have been wanting to knot this giraffe since I first saw a picture of it!!
Would love to have the yarn. I don't even think I could give him away...He looks too loveable.
Donna Joyce,
Happy Holidays.
Melanie Berman:
Dear Susan,
I think that Madison definitely needs another giraffe. My grandson Ari lives there with his parents (my daughter) and I know that he would love it! I love your blog, and learn more about the sites in Madison than I do from my own family! By the way, I contacted Dani for the yarn to make the fruit finger puppets - that's my daughter's name too.
Thanks so much,

I’m making the frog/turtle reversible right now. I’ve got the frog just about completed and am planning on giving this to my great nephew for Christmas.
I have lots of nieces and nephews (great and small) and would love to bestow a giraffe on one of them
Thanks for your unbelievable creativity!
Happy Holidays!

Hi Susan,
I have been following you through your blog as you have been traveling about, visiting knitting stores and groups to advertise your new book. Each day you write about your book tourI see a picture of the sweet giraffe as one of the many darling toys you put out for people to see and play with. I always notice him!
Janet Walters:
Good Morning, Susan!
Yes! Yes! I have had visions of knitting that giraffe for my new grandson floating through my mind for several weeks now and the truth is, I'm a scardy-knitter - I pretty much stick to variations on a rectangle, with a hat thrown in there once in a while. I have been afraid that I would get in over my head, so to speak. But this little guy is talking to me, saying, "C'mon, Grandma - go for it!" I would so love to receive your gift!
Have a great Christmas season!
Jan
This giraffe would make the perfect gift for my sister who is 56! She had a giraffe as a child named "Alice"....
What a lovely surprise! My daughter would love a giraffe and I'd love to knit it for her!
I'd love to have the yarn to make this little guy. I have your book, picked it up at ACH Little Rock. Something new to make besides hat's for Knitting for Noggings, which by the way I'm still working on. They didn't get as many this year and I plan on closing the gap a bit.
i made a sweater for my husbands grandson as a toddler which used the arm as the Giraffe's neck and then the head and body of the giraffe were knitted into the body of the sweater - now the grandson has a son of his own I'd love to make a toy giraffe for him
I would LOVE, LOVE to win this!
Maggie in MN
Living up in Thunder Bay, Canada, I'd love to knit this up over the long cold winter for my 2 month old son. I have great fun perusing your 3 books for future projects to knit for him, and his baby friends. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all.
I'd just like to comment on how much I enjoy your blog. I'm spoiling my little niece Riley to death with your itty bitty hats!!
I've yet to knit an animal...
~Cindy from Clinton, CT
Hi Susan! I have all your books and love your patterns, I have SEVERAL baby showers coming up in the next few months, it seems that everyone I know is pregnant but me! I would love to knit the giraffe for a baby to cuddle! Thanks for the great patterns!
Kelly in Michigan
I would love to win the yarn. I have come back to knitting after many years. Made animals in the past and would love to get back into it. Thanks for a wonderful blog.
I would love to make one of these, he's so cuteeeeee!
I would love to knit this cute fellow. Have never seen so many cute toys in a book.
Love your works.
Jette
OH you are going to give me a reason to go out and buy your book if I win? Ok, twist my arm :) I have flipped through this book and I LOVE it! My husband thinks I own too many knitting books though :) But if i have the yarn, then I will just HAVE to get the book! right?
Kim from Maine
Please, oh please pick me!
Hello from Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would love a chance to do this.
that giraffe is definatly my favorite!~Kaitlin (all the way in WV)
Ooh! Yes, please! Right now, I'm making the Christmas toy set from your new book-- so fun! I live in Madison, Wisconsin. My favorite yarn shop is The Sow's Ear. And I love your blog!
Me too, please! LOVE giraffes!!
Perfect for Christmas gifts!
Ohhh, I just bought the book and can't wait to make something. For sure I want to do the giraffe and the bird/egg.
Pick me!!! I would love to knit a giraffe. I have only been knitting since October after getting your book Itty Bitty Hats from the local library. I have since made a hat for one daughter, one son and myself. I have also made a neckwarmer for my other son and am working on a scarf for my other daughter. I have a niece or nephew due to be born in the spring and the giraffe would be perfect!
Ohh, I was just thinking of making a giraffe! Either for my son, a friend's baby, or a friend in blogland whose daughter loved giraffes (she passed away at 9mo. (in 2004 when my son was 9mo.) from AML). Thank you!
My three year old has been begging for this giraffe after she played with yours at The Wool Cabin in Salt Lake City. We loved meeting you there and playing with the toys (I was the one with the four kids and the crazy animal hats!). Thank you for coming all the way to Salt Lake and my only regret was that I couldn't take your class. But I do have to agree with all your comments about The Wool Cabin store! The sisters are fantastic and truly delightful to be around. I drive all the way across town just to go to their store and love every minute in there not just because of the great yarn but because they are also so kid friendly! I would love to win this great prize!
Erica in Salt Lake City
Well this is my first comment but I wanted to tell you that you are my inspiration to start knitting! My first project ever was your spring chick hat for my little girl. I was expecting my first boy in March and I made him the nursery sweater. He wore it home from the hospital--I will have to send a photo when I figure out how. Oh man, I think it took me my entire pregnancy since it was only the 2nd thing I had EVER knit (and of course I found the corrections online after I had tried over and over to get it right,thinking I just wasn't understanding!) Anyway, I know have all of your books and every night I look at them and dream of what I will make someday. With 2 kids under 2 I am somehow not finding a lot of spare time :) Sorry so long, but I really want to thank you for turning me into a knitter!! You are a creative genius.
The giraffe is my favorite toy from the book and I would love to knit him! I have your blog on my reader so I always read new posts and I think you are very kind to have these giveaways.
i have a giraffe collector on my gift list. she would go nuts over your little friend.
I would love to knit one of your wee giraffes. I'm due with my first tomorrow. Maybe the prospect of a toy might lure her out. I'm ready to try anything at this point! I've got Itty Bitty toys on order to knit out of while I'm off on maternity leave too. :)
Please entry me in your contest for the yarn for the giraffe. All your toys look amazing. I just got your book and was having trouble with which pattern to start with. I would love to knit the giraffe. I hope you can do a book signing in Iowa sometime.

The giraffe is lovely! And I have just the nephew who would love it. =)
--Tanya from Pittsburgh
A few years ago, I bought a season ticket for me and my two kids to a zoo nearby. That first year, they had a baby giraffe born in December, and they called her Ruby, as she was born in the year of their 40th anniversary. She had to be handreared as she was mum's first baby and apparently they often reject their first baby. Another year on, and another baby giraffe turned up, Josie. Both doing well. Imagine our surprise a few months ago when we visited and spotted baby giraffe number three, only a few days old! She's called Honey. The zoo is not very big but good fun, but the giraffes are definitely our favourite animals which we always make a point of going to see. It'd be great to actually knit a giraffe, I'm sure my kids would love it. She might even get to come to the zoo with us one day.
I hope it's not too late! I love this giraffe. Toys are my favorite.
My daughter is having her first baby in February (she is 36 years old) and I bought Itty Bitty Hats and started to send her a new hat every two weeks. She then sent me Itty Bitty Nursery (I think this was a hint!) and I started to make fun things from there...I just finished making the elephant pacifier clip and I'm working on the textured blanket. I was so excited to buy Itty Bitty Toys at my favorite yarn store, Jessica Knits, in Scottsdale. I just finished the small bear with the sock yarn and I've made many squishie balls (these will be under the Christmas tree!). My daughter wants the sex of the baby to be a surprise. I thought that was going to make it difficult for me in knitting, but with your patterns and yarn suggestions, it has been no big deal to know if my new grandchild will be a boy or girl! My next project has to be the giraffe...I can already see it sitting in the nursery, waiting for my new granchild to be born! Thanks you, Susan, for making my kniting so much fun!
Hello Susan:
My 11 year old daughter, Hope, saw your book at our favorite shop, Knit Wits, in Fort Mitchell, KY. She has a thing for giraffes. She fell in love with it. I would love to win your giraffe gift and surprise her with it.
Have a wonderful knitting day!
SFeinauer
I just bought your book, Itty Bitty Toys a couple of weeks ago. I am making myself wait until after Christmas before I start any new projects. This would be a perfect way to start knitting through your book.
I'd love to win! My one-year-old would love to play with this!
Thanks!
love the giraffe. i'd give it to my friend's daughter whose baby is due between christmas and new year. i could love to knit one myself, but lack the time!
This is so much fun! And so many participants allready!!! We are the happiest grandparents of a 3 mths old baby girl. I have knitted her almost all of the Itty Bitty hats and now I must start on the Itty Bitty toys. The girafe would be a wonderful start. I am known as WoolyKnitsNBits.
My first grandson was born 2 days ago and how I'd love to give him this little giraffe. I'm not an accomplished knitter but my daughter is, and she'd love to create this wonderful little critter for our baby Anthony!
The giraffe is so cute; it would be perfect for my daughter. Pick me pick me!
Kate in STL
How neat! I just purchased your book last week, and decided the giraffe would be my first project - to start after the holidays, and hopefully finish before my little girl is born a month later.
You are so kind to do so many give-aways! I see there are already over 530 posts but I wanted to say how much I am enjoying your Itty Bitty Toys book. It took me awhile to find a copy but I finally procured one of my very own :-) The giraffe is my favorite but my LYS doesn't have any of the daffodil yarn at this time. It won't delay me for long though...I can't wait to knit it up with whatever yarn I can find! Thanks for sharing your knitting life with us. It's always a delight to read your blog!
Aw, too cute!
Susan...you are wonderful. I would LOVE to knit the cutest giraffe ever. I love the book...it is my favorite.
I would love to try too... I'm at work so in a hurry (can't think of a witty or amusing comment, sorry!) but had to bend the rules to come and comment to try to win this.
It's a good things so many of my friends are pregnant or have just had babes. I have 2 boys who would have that giraffe covered in dirt and truck tracks in an afternoon, but get my girl fix when I'm around my friends. I would love to share this sweet giraffe with one of the new-born sweet ones around me!
Great projects! MC
I would love to knit the giraffe! I'm currently working on the hippo for my daughter as a Christmas gift. I'm new to knitting and just ordered your book. Love it!
Melissa
I want to knit a giraffe! And I always have the Itty Bitty Toys book. :o)
My ravelry ID is vereader.
The yarn colors are wonderful and I would love to make a giraffe. It's the cutest one in the book.
I am hoping that the Hanukkah elf brings me Itty Bitty Toys sometime in the next eight nights, and one of the first things on my list is the giraffe. I am 5' tall and have an obsession with tall things, including giraffes.
OH BOY..there seems to be quite a few ppl who love the Giraffe as much as I do! :)
I have both your books and added the Itty Bitty Toys to my christmas list this year!! I can't wait to get it and start making some toys! :)
Take care!
He is so cute! I would definately take real good care of Mr. Giraffe :)
I have been watching this giraffe so longlingly! I'd love to tackle the challenge for my 9mos twin boys. Thanks for offering this!
I would love to knit this. I have 4 grandkits that would enjoy one...now which one would I give it to? I guess I will have a drawing too!!

I really, really want to knit the giraffe! I even already have the book!
Is it Christmas yet??? I've just finished the first my first Baby Doll and I'm dying to give it to my daughter!
Please enter me in the contest, I'd love to knit the giraffe too!
THe giraffe is adorable. I received a stuffed giraffe as my first gift when I was born and still have it. It would be so fun to add a knitted giraffe to the well-loved one that is now in my son's crib.
Plus, I used to live in Madison and practically lived at Stitcher's Crossing! :) Now I'm in the Ann Arbor area and getting to know the yarn stores here.
Have a wonderful holiday!
Me! Ellen. I want to crochet a giraffe.
i love this little giraffe!! and to win the yarn would be great, esp since i am poor grad student who just became an aunt! Anne T
I would love to try out this new yarn! My new nephew would surely love a giraffe!

Saying hello from very snowy East Aurora, NY! Maybe knitting a giraffe would make it all go away!!!!!!
The giraffe is my favorite project in the book. I would love to make it for my grandson who is due to arrive in a few months.
You are so sweet to do give aways! Would love to win so then no excuses to get going to knit it!

Hi, Susie. I would love to knit the giraffe. Please enter me. Thank you. Also, you have convinced me to get the Snooty Snood. Regards from cold, windy PEI.
Love your book! I was just online today looking for some yarn to order to make this giraffe. Right now I am making the bunny, we call him Lumpy. I guess i'm not good at stuffing because he is a bit lumpy and thats how he got his name. I'm quickly becoming addicted to knitting stuffies and am planning on make the giraffe next!
My daughter loves giraffes so this would be fun to make for her! Thank you!
This would definitely be a challenge for my beginner skills, but I'm up for it! I kind of have a thing for giraffes so this would be awesome!!

i got your itty bitty toys book at my lys, By Hand Yarn in Sonora CA. the giraffe is one of my favorite projects.
Thanks for this contest. My daughter (who is 16) loves giraffes and I'd planned to make this one for her. Here's hoping I win!
I have been knitting forever but am new to the world of knitting small toys...and have discovered that I love the fiddly! I would love to make this giraffe (who seems not very fiddly...looks like a fast knit) for my grandson, who will be 2 next month.
Hope I win the drawing (and I hope it has not already occurred!
Thanks for sharing your world with us through your blogs and books.
I love your new book Itty Bitty Toys! I want to make so many of the toys and the giraffe is one of them. Thank you for the chance at this giveaway.
Who wouldn't love to win such an adorable giraffe. I still have one that I made in clay way, way back in the early 40's.
Best to you, Ellen.
Very cute!
I'm so sorry I missed you when you were at Loops in Tulsa! Maybe this will make up for it...

I enjoyed meeting you at loops!
I'd love to knit a giraffe! The little boy I babysit today just told me that was his most favorite animal!
Your toys are ever so cute! Thanks for the contest!
OK, so my odds are 1 in 568. That's ok, I love your Itty-Bittys (or Itty-Bitties?) and would be thrilled to knit a giraffe! Thanks for the chance :)
I would love to make this adorable giraffe! I already have the book and love the patterns.
Thanks Susan!
He's so cute, I would love to make this little giraffe!
I love your stuff! I am into making itty bitty hats. It would be fun to try something new.
Well I do have a 5 year old that has had me knit the bird in a nest, the puppy, from your book which I preordered as a must have for me :). He would love love the giraffe, which means I would love the yarn to make him one!
You are a great designer and pattern writer!
Thank you for this opportunity. I so enjoy your designs.
Oh my goodness! I just found your book at Borders two nights ago. I couldn't leave the store without it! After I got home, I saw you have a website. Found it! Saved you as a Favorite.
My husband and I are trying for kids so of course he said I've definitely gone baby crazy now that I've bought this book. Whatever.
I would love a chance to win the giraffe goodness. Love your generosity and kindness.
Happy Holidays!

I just bought your book the other night from Borders. I was looking for something else and came across Itty Bitty toys....could not leave the store without it!
My husband and I are trying for kids and when he saw the book, his comment was that I have gone baby crazy. Whatever.
After I got home, I noticed you had a website...checked it out....saved as a Favorite. Love it!! I saw the opportunity to win teh giraffe goodness but thought it was too good to be true. Tonight, I decided I would try for it. The giraffe happens to be my husbands favorite in the book. He definitely is a cutie.
Thanks for your generosity and inspiration.
Happy Holidays!!

I am really excited to knit this guy up! My best friend is due in less than a month and I would love to have this be the first toy her new daughter gets!
hope it's not too late to enter! I bought the book this week but I don't think I'll have time to do anything in it for a while. I'm thinking Easter gifts!! Thanks for the chance!
Hi Susan-I recently discovered you and your blogs and books and can't wait to get started on some projects. I would love to make the giraffe! I am hoping to receive Itty Bitty Toys for Christmas (and if I don't I will just go out and buy it for myself!!!)
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be picked to win this fantastic give-away. I absolutely love the giraffe.
Would love to knit the giraffe. He is so cute.
Hi! I have ordered 2 of your books from Father Christmas!! ha ha!Cant wait to get started! I think the giraffe will be one of my favorites. Many christmas Blessings from South Africa xxx
Oh--I LOVE giraffes. I'd love to knit it for my 2-year-old grand daughter---she would love it, too. (But could I part with it!?)
I love this giraffe!!! I am currently working on the sweet baby doll for my little girl for Christmas...one leg and foot, belly button, hair and face to go...So exciting!!!
Hope it's not too late to enter! How CUTE!

So cute. I'd love to win this to make for my neighbor who's having her first baby!
What a fun pattern, and bright happy yarn color. It would be such fun to win!
P.S.- I loved your blog about the Snooty Snood! You were so enthusiastic!! I was thinking I hadn't heard you rave so much about a pattern before, and then you said pretty much that same thing. It made me want to try it!
I just taught myself to knit while I was pregnant with my daughter. Now she's 7 weeks old and I would love to try my hand at making your adorable giraffe for her.
LOVE your patterns... I have knitted 2 of the watermelon hats. SO much fun. I am going to get your book... so it would be great to have some yarn to work with. THANKS for sharing so much with us! God bless you. Wish you would come to Franklin, NC.....
Please enter me in your wonderful giraffe yarn giveaway - Thanks!

Hello Susan, I would really love to win your yarn give away to knit the giraffe. I am getting your book from my husband for Christmas so it would be lovely to start knitting with the same yarn you used. I love your books and your blog.

Hi Susan,
My name is Tammy and I love to knit too. Your books are so creative and motivational. I am so glad I came upon your blog after purchasing both of your books. Do you ever have knit alongs? Do you have anything in the works for adults?
Keep up the Good Work!
